Just returned from our second visit to Kersmains and wanted to say what an amazing place it is. Been with out two young children and our friends and their son. It's a lovely place, really nicely decorated, clean as a whistle and has loads of rooms downstairs! Very well stocked kitchen (no scales though!) and the owners couldn't do enough to help. Ashley helped out with some rainy day ideas for the kiddies whilst the daddies were fishing and even popped in to a local countryside place to get us details of a music class they had on for preschoolers. We will be back for our annual October holiday :) Thank you

We stayed from 27th Dec to 2nd Jan and had a great Festive break with family. The cottage is beautifully decorated and has plenty of space, with some great views out across the rolling hills of Kelso. Ashley & Simon were really helpful and nothing was too much trouble.They even organised a day out for us at Kelso races which was a great experience and something we would highly recommend! We brought our dog and there were lots of great walks leaving right from the front door of the cottage. We spent New Years at the nearby Roxburghe Hotel, we met a few interesting characters and felt a little under dressed next to the men in full military regalia complete with swords!! A night we will never forget! Back to the cottage, only suggestion would be an additional shower in the upstairs bathroom but other than that had a great time and would gladly recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing break in the Scottish borders.

We stayed at the cottage for a short break in December. On arrival quite late on a stormy night the cottage was lit, warm and beautifully decorated for Christmas. A further happy surprise was the welcome basket of local goodies.The cottage was extremely spacious for our grown family of five with large bedrooms and plenty of living space. The kitchen was well equipped and very clean.If you are looking for an ideal spot to explore the borders then look no further - you will not be disappointed.Ashley and Simon are welcoming and answered all pre arrival emails by return.
